Guiness World Record

A light and sound show around Hong Kong's symbolic Victoria Harbor on Monday won the city a Guinness World Records certificate for being the largest permanent show of its kind around the world. Guinness' Head of Records Marco Frigatti presented the certificate to Eva Cheng, Hong Kong's Commissioner for Tourism, at a ceremony held here on Monday afternoon. The Guinness document certifies the show named "A Symphony of Lights" as the world's "Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show," which was put into performance since January 2004. The 13-minute long project is a synchronized light and sound show performed on the existing 20 high-rises on the Hong Kong Island facing north along Victoria Harbor. Since its launch two years ago, the daily light show has become a popular scenery site at night for both locals and visitors. With the newly-given Guinness Records award, Hong Kong's tourism authority vowed to keep the project going and work more on it to promote local tourism.
